not enough sleep
i am so tired this morning...was up way too late last night. i am happy to say that we had a good response from our call out for a new employee and think we have someone great! that happened in 1 day, which is perfect!
leaseholds are going very well! painting is well on it's way. just booked install for our phone and internet services and now we'll just keep our fingers crossed that everything will be completed on time. will let everyone know when we're planning to open the new location closer to the date...just in case there is a glitch in the next few weeks.
becca and i are off to TO for a trade show this weekend. perry and the girls are coming along so i had better start packing now. we need so much stuff with 2 kids. hopefully i remember everything! i am SOOOOOOOOO looking forward to our next trade show that becca and i will attend without kids!!
off to run errands this morning. a few things left to purchase for the store...then home to (hopefully) have a nap!
have a great day!

decorating disaster!
i am so tired this morning....layla woke up at 5:30am. it seems as though every time i leave before she goes to bed for the night, she wakes up early. coincidence or is she really trying to punish me? we had a staff meeting last night and then we went over to see the new space. priming is almost done! anyway, looks like i'll be taking a nap today...not sure any amount of caffeine is going to help!
so, i made a very bad decorating decision that i am so regretting. i got 2 new sofas for our living room. before i bought the sofas i purchased an area rug. i was looking for so long and when i found something that seemed like it would work, i bought it...stupid, stupid, stupid...it's not big enough. the new sofas are longer then my old one and they don't completely sit on the rug...it really doesn't look good at all. i mentioned it to perry and he laughed, seriously thinking i was making a joke becuz it took me so long to convince him to spend the money on it in the first place. he will NEVER go for purchasing another one. i am so mad at myself!! gotta figure out how to remedy this one!
stay warm!

been awhile!
an entire weekend without writing...i apologize...and i was on such a roll! worked lots this weekend. there is nothing more satisfying than getting through a really thick folder of paperwork! hee, hee, remember you're listening to a self-professed type A gal!
ryan is off to daycare today and layla and i have some running around to do. we're going to check out the new space. the mudding & taping should almost be done...it actually takes quite awhile becuz of all the coats needed and the sanding in between. by the end of this week the ceilings will be sprayed and then the floors and lighting will get done!
gotta run and get ready for the day while layla is napping. she's been sleeping 12 1/2 hours overnight these days and seems to be getting rid of one of her naps. yesterday she still had 4 naps so she hasn't officially moved to 3, but we are heading there. layla's sleep patterns are so much like ryan's were. she can't stay up for very long during the day. i am pushing it to 1 1/2 hours right now. it'll be nice when she stays up for a bit longer so we can do more things outside the house becuz she doesn't sleep well outside her crib. i know i shouldn't complain becuz she is an amazing sleeper...i guess it's my own guilt when i take her out and she doesn't sleep...i feel bad for her.
anyway, as i was saying, i am off to do something with my hair (need it cut so bad!).
oh ya, can't remember if i already mentioned it in my blog, but check out this great new line of shoes we're carrying...a canadian company...they are really cute and very reasonably priced! the baby line has been selling very well so we're bringing in some of the toddler shoes too!

have a great day!

change
second cup of coffee this morning and enjoying every minute of it. it truly is one of the highlights of my day! layla slept for 12.5 hours overnight and i actually went to bed at a decent time so i'm feeling good this morning! ryan is watching hannah montana so i thought i would take a few minutes to blog.
i'm having a huge internal struggle with the whole vegetarian thing. i honestly never thought "the skinny bitch" would effect me like it did. we had steak last night and i had a few bites, but loaded up on the other stuff. i was thinking awful thoughts (all you have to do is read the book and you will know what i'm referring to) the entire time. who knows what will come of this, but it has truly impacted me like few other "lifestyle" books have.
speaking of books, i am on #2 now! i seriously haven't read a book that has nothing to do with business since...i can't even remember. so sad. nourishment for my brain. i can't seem to put it down. a friend bought it for me for my birthday and i thought, "ya, i'll get to that in a couple of years"...but here i am, a quarter of the way done! i would really like to make a point of reading more.
as i write all of this, i am thinking about how i "don't make new year's resolutions"...apparently this year is different! they seem to be oozing out of me. i guess i'm figuring it's time for some change!
well, it's full force ahead with the leasehold improvements! mudding & taping today, the last of the electrical, bathroom plumbing...it's definitely coming along! painting next week which will make a huge difference. the flooring should go in soon after that! most of our fixtures have been shipped...new lines are arriving daily! so excited for you all to see it!
well, ryan is petitioning me to watch hannah montana...how could i say "no"?
have a great day!

welcome 2009!
second year in a row that i didn't make it till midnite! i could have fallen asleep at 8:30 last night but managed to stay up until about 11:45! i was so tired today and was able to take 2 naps (thanks perry!). i still feel tired, although it could be a result of my body working overtime to try and eliminate all the greasy crap we ate last night! gotta do it once in a while, right?
my whole idea of food has changed today after reading "skinny bitch"...have you read it? OMG! the authors said they titled their book to sell copies (which obviously worked for me!), but i had no idea what it was all about. i have never even thought about eating vegan (let alone vegetarian), but this book makes me want to give it up! i have to realistic here and say that i am definitely considering making a few changes to the way i eat. i don't know that vegan is for me, but i do think i should be eating far more fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, etc. that is realistic for me. i am also going to check out a few of the places that sell organic foods and see what changes i can implement in to my life.

i am doing well with the water intake today...on glass 6! ha, it's only day #1 and i need it after the martinis we had last night!
well, i hope you had a wonderful time last night and that you've set some realisitic goals to better yourself this year!
